let her cook... thai curry

this brought us back from the dead

First — hi, everyone. Thanks for your patience. The family has withstood a constant barrage of illness over the past two months. I rarely get sick, same for my kids, but what 2020 was in theory, 2024 has been in practice. I feel like I aged five years in five weeks. We should nuke Wuhan. Just kidding.

This recipe is my favorite thing for illnesses other than the stomach flu: flavorful enough to break through a stuffy palate, spicy to clear the sinuses, and full of onion, garlic, and herbs to clear infection. The perfect balance of sour, sweet, and salty. My kids love it. I make this for postpartum friends. It’s one of those recipe that people ask for themselves.

Disclaimer: I live near a Trader Joe’s and thus rely on its pre-made curry sauce, 11oz per container, which is actually very clean, nutritionally speaking. I’m assuming alternatives can be found at other grocery stores, and if not, here is a recipe for a homemade version. After the initial dinner, this feeds our family of five lunch for the better part of a week.
